juliet. i just want you to know, it gets better. it takes a LONG time but it happens. i'm not perfect, and you know nobody ever is. ten monthes into REAL recovery, i can finally say i'm not a forager, constantly consumed by thoughts of food to feed my starving little disproportioned body. i can finally freely think with ease. it's amazing too, how while i have gained 30 pounds, i finally can wear shorts and a t-shirt, or even a TANK or CAMISOLE. this is huge for me, as i would cover myself in inapropriate coverings all months of the year. my body was too inappropriate to be viewed by society in my oppinion. now even though i am a little fatted in my oppinion, it doesn't consume me, if doesn't send me into tears or hysterics. the idea that i would one day reach that point of not being bothered was seen as terrifying not so long ago. now it's not as important. it gets easier. i'm not happy, but i'm ok. that's more than i can say for before. ana's and mia's are never going to be easy on themselves. we're doggedly critical of ourselves ( ... )

i'll be honest, i haven't read your entire post yet because once i clicked on it, i looked at the clock and realized i had to leave to pick up a friend. but, before i go, i'd really like to know who you are.. not as a mean or accusatory thing, i'm just curious.

and i promise i'll read your comment in full as soon as i can.

it's a little embarressing to say who i am, since it's really embarressing to admit all the things i said in my post were a very real part of my life. it's easy to say because it's easy to say on the internet because it doesn't feel like anyone you really know would HAVE to know. but anyway. i'm nineteen years old, going to school and working full time. my full name or username doesn't really matter since i'm not a journal user, yet anyway. my name is olivia.
